INTRO:
G#   C#   D#   G#

VERSE 1:
G#
Anyone who's played on a record date
                         C#
Will remember Stage Door Jenny
        D#
Well, I saw her last night and man
                                   G#
She looked like she wasn't gettin' any (Ahh)

G#
Rock and roll kinda took its toll
                  C#
When she shed her inhibitions
D#
Too many scenes in limousines
                  G#
And dressing room intermissions


CHORUS 1:
C#                    G#
She was the queen of 1964
        D#
But the truth of the matter is
                 G#
Nobody wants her anymore
            C#                          G#
There was a time she could've shown you how
    D#              C#              G#
But nobody wants an overage groupie now


VERSE 2:
G#
When it came to a superstar
            C#
Jenny was a braggart
D#
Spread it all around to everyone in town
                       G#
That she once had Mick Jagger (Ooh)

G#
There's no doubt when the truth comes out
                    C#
True love will over conquer
D#
She didn't get Mick but she got a kick
                     G#
And a black eye from Bianca

CHORUS 2:
C#                   G#
She was the queen of 1964
       D#
What a pity she became a shadow of
                 G#
The girl she was before
               C#                      G#
She passed her prime, it seems a shame somehow
    D#              C#              G#
But nobody wants an overage groupie now

De-da-da-da-da


VERSE 3:
G#
I'm afraid that the Morning Trade
          C#
Had a sad obiturary
D#
There'll be no more Jenny at the door
                     G#
They took her to the cemetery (Ahh)

G#
Just an autograph book and a stereo
                         C#
There was no one she was close ta
D#
She was found with her arms around
                              G#
An Elvis Presley poster

CHORUS 3:
C#                   G#
She was the queen of 1964
D#
Tonight there'll be a moment of silence
       G#
At the Troubadour
            C#                          G#
There was a time she could've shown you how
    D#              C#              G#
But nobody wants an overage groupie now
    D#              C#              G#
But nobody wants an overage groupie now
